Before and after: historic buildings restored and transformed

English Heritage's latest report, 'Constructive Conservation: Sustainable
Growth for Historic Places' focuses on historic buildings across the
country which it has helped transform into money-making businesses. Here are
some of the best examples.

St Francis's friary: before

Edward Pugin built this large Neo-Gothic church for Manchester's Francisan
community in the 1800s, but when the Franciscans vacated in the 1980s it
fell into disuse. In 1997, it was placed on the World Monuments Fund Watch
List of the 100 most endangered sites in the world.
